Using a hose with the hothead and a small tank is the same as
using a hose with the hothead and a bulk tank.

The little tank and the big tank both have the same internal
pressure of 100 PSI.

The first problem is that several extra connections have to be
added when using a hose, each one of those connections is
a possible leak source.

The second problem is the hose will have full tank pressure of
100 PSI so if your hose ruptures, gets hot glass on it, etc, you
suddenly have a HUGE problem on your hands and a strong
possibility of testing out various religions.

My opinion: the hothead is much safer directly
connected to the small 1LB tank and should not
be used with an extension hose or bulk tank.


If you insist on connecting your small tank to the hothead via
hose you will need two things, both made by the same company.

Mr. Heater Steak Saver.
Steak Saver

Mr. Heater Extension hose.
Mr. Heater 12' Hose

The Steak Saver is not necessary for connection to a bulk tank, only
the hose is necessary if you use a bulk tank.
